Texas Faces Heightened Wildfire Threat Amid Ongoing Drought
Over the past week, 84 wildfires have scorched 1,883 acres across Texas, according to the Texas A&M Forest Service.
Despite fewer fire weather triggers, the persistent drought from an unusually dry fall has led to increased wildfire activity.
Notable fires include a fast-moving wildfire in southeast Austin, which burned 36 acres within two hours, and the Williams Road Fire near Burnet, which spread from 90 acres to 321.5 acres overnight.
A fire also sparked in Georgetown's Cedar Lake neighborhood, highlighting the increased risk of wildfires in the region.
Travis County Judge Andy Brown signed a disaster declaration due to heightened fire risks.
